Edit: I didn't actually read the OP. It makes sense now. It is Beefy post I should be looking at I think, lol
"Even though he didn't vote with his believes, him just thinking that it is a sin is enough to hurt people." - Community Resettler
Holy shit. What happened here?
And yeah. So originally I thought it was the post above it. I read like the first line of the post above it and thought it was about LGBT issues being of most concern for the country. Of course for the majority of people there are bigger issues when it concerns what is best for the country. So it seemed initially ridiculous. I then read the post in full and thought, "hold on a minute... what is the OP about exactly?". That's when I realised it was actually Beefy's post he was bringing attention to.
That said, I am going to chime in on this because I have now read the exchange between Beefy and the other people and actually disagree with Beefy's stance.
So take this post here by Beefy:
https://www.resetera.com/posts/3119133/Soon as his opinion starts to effect some one then he doesn't
He is actually saying here that he doesn't have the right to his own personal opinion. That was what the exchange was about. beefy doesn't believe he should have the right to an opinion because it may affect someone who is gay.
Absolutely no, when you start denying people the right to their own opinion, we are really walking down dangerous territory, don't you think?
Now if what Beefy was really saying is that it is hurtful and can be criticised. Now that is a different thing. He wasn't saying that though.
Another post from Beefy
Thought policing of bigotry isn't a bad thing. Lol at saying me not wanting people to be bigots is worse then being Farron a actual bigot
Something I have mentioned before. The Oxford English dictionary defines 'bigotry' as:
bigotry
ˈbɪɡətri/
noun
noun: bigotry; plural noun: bigotries
intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself.
You are a bigot Beefy by definition. Again not necessarily because you criticise, but because you believe he does not have the right to that opinion.
